What This Code Means

Bone disease that develops as a complication of poliomyelitis affecting multiple different areas of the body simultaneously.

Coding Tips

• •Document all affected sites in the medical record to justify the 'multiple sites' designation
• •This code should be used when osteopathy from poliomyelitis involves two or more different anatomical regions

Clinical Significance

Post-polio osteopathy affecting multiple anatomical sites represents extensive skeletal involvement requiring comprehensive management and monitoring. This diagnosis indicates widespread bone complications from prior poliomyelitis with significant impact on patient function and healthcare utilization.

Documentation Requirements

• ✓Clear documentation of poliomyelitis history
• ✓Multiple anatomical sites with osteopathy specifically identified
• ✓Evidence of bone pathology at each affected location
• ✓Causal relationship between polio and multiple site involvement established
• ✓Comprehensive physical examination of all affected areas
• ✓Imaging studies supporting multi-site bone pathology
• ✓Coordinated treatment plan addressing multiple skeletal sites
